Jamin's Losi XX-CR - Old Skool Pics

[jamin]

I couldn't believe my luck either tbh!

They are not as bright as I thought though, not like the die-cut ones.

Feeling bored and tired tonight so I dug out my XX stuff and had a play. I fancied a change so I open the new set of natural wheels I had and fitted them up together with the neon red (pink) discs.

I also swapped out the studs for imfar pins, and used some tyre tweak to restore a little newness in them

I will try to get around to painting the Jammin shell soon, once some more Trinity stickers arrive from lowrydesign.

Jamin,

The polished motor plate that you have - did you remove the black and polishit up yourself, or was this an earlier generation off the shelf item?

buggy looks cleeeen!

Its the lightened one Brent - which only came polished. Are you after one?

I'm after one of the early versions that had straight milling slots

I am not aware they did more than one version - do you have a pic?

I might be able to help you out with one like I have pictured.

This one?

Ah blimey!! i didnt realise they were different!

The ones I have been using are from the 'centered motor plate' kit...

[lowrydesign]

Yup that's the one!!! Like trying to find a needle in a hay stack

Looks like his is NIP - make him an offer!! (before I do!! hehehe)

Yes, I have both types - I still have the plate from my original XX with straight cut slots... this is used and a bit battered, it now resides in the back of my losi gearboxed Mardave Cobra. I brought a NIP polished plate for my NIB build but its the later type with the radiused machining... before I got this one I didn't realise there were the two different types either... think i'd prefer the straight version as i'm trying to build up my car to the spec of my original XX - but i'm not that fussy LOL

I brought a second motor plate for my original XX... this had the straight machined slots but was also anodised blue - which at the time was what I thought was the same as what came on the Kinwald (but now know this is a plain non-machined plate) I remember my blue plate came sealed in the Losi packaging & I had the choice of blue or red

[jamin]

I've learnt something today! Hehehe

I am going to see if they are still available, very much doubt it though. I am happy with the new ones I have in anycase.

Cheers Dan! I am sure there is a set on ebay at the mo...

[jamin]

Well, this was only a matter of time wasn't it...

NIP Trinity parts

Trinity blue goodness!

All back together and looking gooooood!

I do have a Trinity front brace in my possession, but the Jammin brace is too rare to not use, plus it matches the silver motor plate at the rear, so I'm happy


I'll take some better pics with a better DoF in the daylight, but these will do for now.

For me, my xx build just took another step up
